56/100

0–100, higher is better. How it is calculated

Berta.me is a small technology company offering a website builder platform tailored for creatives such as artists, photographers, and designers. The platform emphasizes simplicity, clean design, and mobile-friendly responsive themes, enabling users to create portfolios, company sites, and online stores. The business has been established since 2011 and maintains a consistent brand presence with active social media channels. Technically, the website employs a custom CMS (Berta CMS) and integrates modern JavaScript libraries, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and New Relic for performance monitoring. Hosting is claimed to be secure cloud-based with backups, although the specific provider is not disclosed. Security posture is basic with HTTPS enabled but lacks advanced DNS security features like DNSSEC and security headers such as CSP or HSTS. Privacy compliance is weak due to the absence of privacy and cookie policies or consent mechanisms. No contact emails or phone numbers are provided, which may impact user trust. Overall, the website is functional, well-designed, and targets a niche market but would benefit from enhanced security and privacy practices.

Scanned

3 of 7 checks could not complete. The site may be unreachable or blocking automated scans, so the results below cover only what could be checked. Try a rescan later.

NIS2 and GDPR posture

Both readouts depend on the site's pages, which could not be loaded in this scan.

Priority findings

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

  2. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

    • High

      Domain Expires Soon

      Domain expires in 24 days

      What to do: Renew domain registration before expiration

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • Security headers: did not complete in this scan.
  • GDPR outside view: did not complete in this scan.
  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

Berta.me occupies a niche in the website builder market focusing on creatives who desire minimalistic and mobile-optimized websites. Its business model revolves around providing easy-to-use tools for portfolio and online store creation, supported by a secure hosting environment. The company leverages partnerships with hosting providers (hosting.berta.me) and integrates third-party analytics and marketing tools to drive user engagement and conversions. The absence of explicit contact information and privacy policies suggests a small operation possibly relying on automated or self-service support. The domain's age and stable registration indicate an established presence, but the use of WHOIS privacy protection is typical for small tech businesses. Growth opportunities may include expanding privacy compliance, improving security posture, and enhancing customer support visibility.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a basic security posture with HTTPS enabled and domain registration protections such as clientDeleteProhibited status. However, it lacks DNSSEC, security headers, and published security policies or incident response contacts. The use of multiple third-party tracking scripts increases the attack surface and privacy risks. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the provided content. The absence of cookie consent mechanisms and privacy policies indicates non-compliance with GDPR and similar regulations. Incident response readiness appears minimal due to lack of published contacts. Overall, the security maturity is low to moderate, suitable for a small business but requiring improvements to meet higher compliance and security standards.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC on the domain to enhance DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Implement and publish a comprehensive privacy policy and cookie consent mechanism to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
  3. Add security headers such as Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options, and HSTS to improve protection against common web attacks.
  4. Publish a security policy and incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  5. Regularly audit and update third-party scripts to minimize vulnerabilities and reduce privacy risks.

Technical notes

Notes

The website uses a custom CMS (Berta CMS) with a technology stack including JavaScript, MooTools, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and New Relic for monitoring. The HTML and CSS are valid and support responsive design, ensuring good mobile optimization. Performance is moderate with some external script dependencies. SEO is supported by meta tags and structured JSON-LD data describing the website and organization. Accessibility features are basic but present. Hosting is cloud-based and claimed secure, though no specific provider details are given. The technical infrastructure is adequate for a small business but could benefit from modernization and enhanced security configurations.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
